Well mine still looks a mess; Centre console refitted - no. Exhaust trim changed over - no. Handbrake console refitted - collecting tomorrow. Leather cleaned and conditioned - yes. Windows washed and polished - no. Boot emptied of junk - no. Bluetooth kit outputs swapped - no (this is why the centre console hasn't gone back) Just finished work - yes. Feeling totally knackered - yes. Looking forward to getting up at 4am - no. EDIT: Just spent half an hour in the dark trying to refit centre console and failed miserably. Going to bring the bits over and try to fit when we arrive. If we hadn't booked and paid for the hotel for tomorrow night, we'd probably have cancelled. As it is we'll treat this as a weekend away and just chill. Despite the above, we're both looking forward to this.

Well what a difference a day can make. Oh and a 15 year old genius called Jake! As you can probably tell from my last post, I was a little frustrated and fed up that the coop was nowhere near ready for today imo. When we arrived we were warmly greeted by everyone there and Jake was busy "tinkering" with various coops. Following a conversation with Joe, Jake was drafted in to work his magic on my coop. Needless to say, Jake was very "enthusiastic" to carry out the work needed and had everything back together and working in a very short time. Just wanted to say a big, public "thank you" to Jake for sorting this for me. Just like his dad, Jake did little niggly jobs that I hadn't asked for but he wanted right. Jake you're a credit to your parents but perhaps more importantly to yourself. A great day with good weather, a great range of Italian exotica, old friends and some new ones and a 15 year old genius. We're now ensconced in the Bristol Hilton and getting ready for a chilled night out. Jake - you the man!

Was down about 10.30 for an hour or so, coops looked lovely!
my missus was very bored as I pointed out the differences between a standard, a plus and an LE...
Got some pics which I'll upload later.

Great to see you all today, great show!
Free to walk around,, plenty to see, nice people, probably one of the best shows I have been to for years. The sounds of the coupes and fezers bouncing of the Walls was ausome.
Joe, congratulations on smoking out costa coffee and scaring the crap out of one of the staff.

Another great car day out. I'll post up pictures later. It was good to put some more names to faces. Highlight of the day was Joe getting cream bunned by the local seagulls AND Manchester city dumping Man U-(suck)nited out of the cup. Quick video clip of Dans Growl off YouTube

Great day out. Started very early for me, having to travel all of 10 minutes to the meeting point (Sorry Craig ) Some cracking metal on display, obviously the F40, some lovely Integrales, and my favourite, the Stratos. Nice to see some shiny coops also. Highlight of the day for me was Joe flooring it in the afternoon growl off, covering some poor lady coming out of Cafe Nero behind in a shower of exhaust fumes. She ran back in quickly. Cough cough what a smokey old girl that Vinci is! Also in the afternoon growl off, I remember standing behind James' plus when he was booting it. I didn't hear a thing though, just got a warm leg. Mouse like whooshing and dump valve chatter. Did enjoy bouncing mine off the limiter a few times, although was a bit heart in mouth when I let Richys gf/wife (?) have a go, LIFT OFF LIFT OFF for gods sake! And that wasn't Leighton, that was his humanoid representative. What is true, he exists only as eletronic matter, which is why when you leave your car at his for mapping, you meet in a random area on Bristol Downs, turn off ignition, flash lights then get out of your car with your eyes closed. You then get a bag over the head, and when you gain your senses you are back in the car, minus some cash with some Bristol shopping bags for effect. Then onto the pub to watch City dump Utd out Then Truffle and I hit the Bristol nightspots. I lost my iPhone, Truffle the contents of his stomach around 11pm. Got back home around 5am, somehow, minus a wad of cash and my phone. Yesterday was a write off. Even today I'm only at 80%. Never again, least, until the next time

I'll see what I can do!
Is that a Sprint Blue Plus in the photos? I'm almost changing my mind about that colour, looks really vibrant.

I could hear it fine and I was on the other side of the car... Not as loud as yours, but then we were all put to shame by that F40. 'Mouse-like'...pfft I had a pretty good day overall having arrived before 7 and didn't leave til after 5. Was quite tired after, having been stood up for something like 10 hours running round after arriving/departing ferraris sticking ramps under wheels and directing 50-point turns. Seemed to go pretty smoothly overall. I'll have to think whether I want to do that again next year though as it was quite hard work. James

Yep, been through the pics and vids and only a handful of Coupes amongst them - I counted 1 of Dan, a couple of MrTickle's and a couple of the unknown Porto. It seems we were almost completely ignored. My friend did get one of mine though James
